  • Methods for producing thin film charge selective transport layers
    Patent number: 9859515
    Abstract: Methods for producing thin film charge selective transport layers are provided. In one embodiment, a method for forming a thin film charge selective transport layer comprises: providing a precursor solution comprising a metal containing reactive precursor material dissolved into a complexing solvent; depositing the precursor solution onto a surface of a substrate to form a film; and forming a charge selective transport layer on the substrate by annealing the film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2018
    Assignees: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.
